Core offering

VDBH West provides end-to-end green space services for organizations in the Netherlands, covering advisory and design, in-house construction and realization, and ongoing maintenance and management of outdoor areas. Its core service portfolio spans school and childcare playgrounds, professional tree care, experience gardens (Beleeftuinen), semi-paved recreational paths, shoulder paving, and biodiversity and greening projects, delivered primarily to schools, municipalities, healthcare institutions, property managers, and holiday-park operators.

Product overview

VDBH West is a landscaping and outdoor space company offering a comprehensive service portfolio organized around three core phases—Advice and Design (Advies en ontwerp), Construction and Realization (Aanleg en realisatie), and Maintenance and Management (Onderhoud en beheer)—alongside five specialized verticals: School & Daycare Playgrounds (School- & kinderdagverblijfpleinen), Tree Care (Boomverzorging), Experience Gardens (Beleeftuinen), Semi-Paving (Halfverharding), and Shoulder Paving (Bermverharding), complemented by Biodiversity & Greening (Biodiversiteit en vergroening). The company operates as a single unified service offering rather than discrete software products, providing end-to-end outdoor space solutions from concept through ongoing maintenance.
